Car Hack

Well, I'm still trucking (hah) along learning Korean. I'm onto the lesson on people and the family and am learning words like yeoja (woman) and namja (man). The 'yeo' is pronounced 'yo' like the greeting. The Korean for Dummies book says to pronounce like you are British, so nam is pronounced with a short 'a' sound (nahm). Aside from that quick lesson, today I'd actually like to share a 'hack' to learning Korean that I've found to be extremely useful!

New Method/ Trick!: Car Hack (learning dat language on the road)
The biggest issue I've had with my journey so far is finding the time to sit down and study. Well, ladies and gentleman, instead of committing more time out of your day to a new language, just use time you already have. Confused?

I'm talking about learning while driving!

Since the Living Language program comes with audio lesson CD's, its super easy, convenient, and time-savvy for me to pop one of those suckers into my car stereo and listen and repeat to vocab as I drive. Some days, I can spend hours driving. I know we all love our music jam sessions in the car (bonus points if you're listening to K-Pop), but if you're willing to make just this sacrifice a lot of progress can be made on a tight schedule. It's simple, but effective. Multi- tasking for the win!

*But be responsible, people. We don't need any language learning induced car accidents:)
